Gwynfang

Gwynfang ("white fang") is the sword of Lycia, a role play character of mine from the Witcher universe. At some point a Witcher named Cedric, a diciple of the school of the wolf, mistook her for a monster and attacked her. She managed to defeat him and took his silver sword for spoils.
The sword's slender blade is a meteorite steel core coated in silver. Its ring pommel and slot in the ricasso are inspired by the Gnomish Gwyhyr, although the sword itself was forged not by gnomes but by a dwarf.
The slender blade is agile and very lively, and, despite its narrow profile, an excellent cutter. The blade's enchantment increases cutting power over time during battle. At full charge, the blade is said to be sharp enough to cut wind.

I love the look of the Aerondight sword and how its runes start to glow as it charges up. So I did something similar here.

Quillons don't really make that much sense on a silver sword, but they can be decorative.

Gwynfang's overall dimensions were inspired by the Danish longsword. Grip and pommel came from the Irish ring pommel and Ciri's sword.
